Question:
Allergy to Nickle Crown Material
It appears that metal crowns have some nickel in them. I have an allergy to nickel. My insurance will only cover metal crowns. Is it possible to have a metal crown without nickel? ...Visitor from Toronto Ontario Canada
Answer:
Thank you for a great question. Yes, it is possible to have a metal crown that has no nickel.
The specific metal crown that I most highly recommend for anywhere in the mouth that the patient will allow is a gold crown. The specific gold that I use is made by a company called Jensen and this product is called JVRT gold.
This alloy or gold material has no nickel.
